"Hey Li, will you give me a hand with my case?" I mean I can't even lift a case at 18 years old.
" Lazy!" I always knew that she was kidding though, and I had weak arms because I was just returning from school after a year long fight with anorexia, again. I've had it since I was 13 sometimes it is alot worse than others. This year was finally going to pick up for me, I mean it had to. It couldn't get any worse.
It couldn't feel any better walking back into Laurali and I dorm. I missed this little room, with my best friend, I was placing my blankets on my bed when there was a knock on the door. "Leon!" It was Li's boyfriend, he's from an extremely rich family in England. "Hey baby, hey Henna!" He walked over and hugged me. "Oh I forgot, this is Ben, he's my older brother thinking of transferring here for our last year." The boy who walked in behind him was gorgeous. He was tall with short black hair, he had eyes as blue as Leon's, they were beautiful. I just couldn't stop staring at them. He had a black shirt on with suit trousers for his interview with Mr. Dunphy.
When I fell out of my daze, he was standing right beside me. "Hey I'm Ben."
"I', I'm Henna,"
"Are you knew here?"
"No, no just moving back in, I was out for a while, So your coming here?"
"Yes, I'm starting next week actually, my school in England was awful, I was never happy there. This place is amazing though."
"Yeah, it's a good school, you'll be very happy here."
"I have a good feeling about the place, and I get to share the big suite with Leon. Not that he is too happy."
"Yeah Laurali and him spend most of their time together up there."
"I guess I'll just have to find a girl and spend time with her!" He winked at me and I smiled,
"I guess you will!"
"Do you want to go grab a coffee with me or something?"
"Um sure, I know a place."
We walked down to a coffee shop on the far side of campus. The coffee tasted nicer there, although all I drink is water.
"So why did you only decide to leave in your last year."
"Well I'm hoping to become a doctor so I had to get my studying finished before I could move. My father is a doctor and I plan to follow in his footsteps."
"Thats so sweet, my father left my mom when I was small so I've never properly met him."
"Oh Henna, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, besides my mom and I are very close. She's my role model."
"Thats so sweet."
I smiled. "We should probably go meet the others."
"Do we have to?" He smiled.
"Lets go blue eyes, "and he got up and followed me..
At this moment I was a hundred percent sure that I was in love with this boy.
